COFFEE-POT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 16, 1910.

Patented Aug. 15, 1911.

Serial No. 582,327.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATTHEW GRIswoLo, Jr., a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at Erie, in the county of Erie and State ofPennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inCoffee-Pots; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the ac companying drawings, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon, forming part of this specification.

My invention relates to improvements in coffee-pots, and comprisessubstantially the construction and combination with the top of thecoffee-pot, of a hinged flange adaptedto rest upon the top of thecoffee-pot and upon which the cover of the pot closes. The object ofthis construction is to form an internal flange in the top of the potbody for the purpose of sustaining a coffee receptacle, which flange canbe moved up out of the way when the inside of the pot is being securedand cleaned.

The features of my invention are hereinafter fully set forth andexplained, and illustrated in the drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a coffeepot embodying my inventionwith a portion thereof in section. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of theupper part thereof. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view of a portion of thepot.

In these drawings, A, is the body, B, the handle, and C, the spout of acoffee-pot. Upon the top of the pot upon the side thereof next to thehandle, I form one memberof a hinge, D. This member of the hinge, D, isso formed that it will receive corresponding parts on a flange-ring, E,and upon a cover, H, as is clearly shown in Fig. 3. This flangering, E,so supported by the hinge, D, fits down into the top of the pot, A, andis provided with an inwardly projecting annular flange, e, to receiveand support the coffee receptacle, G, which hangs suspended therefrom,as shown in Fig. 1. The cover, H, being also supported by the hinge, D,fits down upon the top of the flange-ring, E, as illustrated in Fig. 1.

In construction and operation, the inside of the coffee-pot, being freefrom all obstructions can be readily and perfectly finished, and inscouring and cleaning the pot, the flange-ring can be raised up andturned back out of the way so that unobstructed access can be had to allparts of the inside of the pot.

Having thus described my invention so that others can construct and usethe same what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent is:

The combination in a coffee-pot, of a coffee-pot body, a ring hinged tothe top thereof adapted to fit closely into the opening thereof andhaving a circumferential flange at the upper side thereof adapted to fitdown upon the top of said pot and an inwardly turned annular flange atits lower side, a coflee-holder having an outwardly turnedcircumferential flange at its upper end insertible through and supportedby said ring, and a cover hinged to the ring hinge pivot adapted to fitdown upon said ring, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
